Ties with China not at India’s expense: Sri Lanka

[irosie91]

Hindu and Buddhist philosophies both have common base called Dharma. That is why there is such a strong support for Dalai Lama in India.

Hinduism and Buddhism are radically different. Reincarnation is one of the few similarities. Even the concept of karma is vastly different between the two.

All Indic religions including Buddhist Dharma are based on Hindu Dharma. The birth of Buddhist way of life was a result of what Lord Buddha called reformed Sanatan Dharma. Just so that you know, Sanatan Dharma is the actual name of what you people refer to as Hinduism.

No they don't .Shiva has no place in Buddhism, nor does Vishnu or any of the gods.

From your posts, it is quite clear that you have little to no understanding of Dharma. Buddhists texts are full of references to Shiva and Vishnu. As I said earlier, what you people call Hinduism is actually called Sanatan Dharma which is the oldest of all Indian religions. All other Indian religions such as Jain Dharma and Boudha Dharma build upon it. Even Sikhi refers to Santan Dharma in its texts. My suggestion to you would be to do some reading before engaging in discussion on this topic.

Lotus Sutra i.e Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra is one of the earliest Mahayana Sutra that speaks of Shiva as an emanation of Avalokiteshvara. The 24th chapter of the Lotus Sutra, “The Chapter on the Universal Door [of Avalokiteshvara]” (Samanta-Mukha-Parivarta) deals with description of the various emanation of Avalokiteshvara in our Universe, the Sahā Lokadhātu .

In Sri Lankan Theravada, Vishnu is worshipped as “Upulvan” (Pali. Uppala-Vaṇṇa). The equivalent Sanskrit title is “Utpala-Varṇa” (Blue-Lotus-Colored). Vishnu is frequently depicted as blue colored (Blue being a euphemism for the original Black color of the deity). Vishnu as Upulvan is the Kshetra-Pāla (Protector of the Land) of Sri Lanka. Buddha before his parinirvana seems to have seen the island of Sri Lanka as the future place where his shāsana (law) will flourish. Therefore, he orders Indra for its protection. Indra then entrusts the protection of the island to Vishnu (Incidentally, Vishnu originally seems to have been subordinate to Indra in the Vedas. This seems to preserve the early status of Vishnu as a sub-ordinate deity).
